  • Type: "in Australasia"
  • Comment: As this name predates Eriostemon lanceolatum C.F.Gaertner (1807) which Index Nominum Genericorum 2 (1979) 638 gives as the type of the genus, it should presumably be accepted as the type. Persoon refers to Smith in Act. Soc. Linn. 5: 4 where Smith describes the genus but does not make any combinations at specific rank.

  • Type: " " Hab. in Australasia". Type: not seen, possibly described from material received from J.E. Smith; K.F. Gaertner (1807) refers to Joseph Banks' collection from which he presumably described the fruit and seed."
